Most quality license systems use third-party libraries for JWT generation, database abstraction, or email sending. You must install these.
Navigate to the project root in your terminal:
composer install
If you don't have Composer globally: Download composer.phar and run php composer.phar install.
This command creates a vendor/ folder containing all dependencies. If the project uses an autoloader, you will now be able to include vendor/autoload.php in your scripts. php license key system github install
If you don't want to host your own license server, consider Keygen.sh – it has an official PHP SDK:
composer require keygen/shield
Then:
use Keygen\Shield\License;
$license = new License('YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY'); if ($license->validate('LICENSE-KEY')) // Validgit clone https://github
This saves you from maintaining the server infrastructure.
composer require laravie/license
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Laravie\License\LicenseServiceProvider"
Look for a file named schema.sql, database.sql, or migrations/ inside the repo. Most quality license systems use third-party libraries for
Typical Table Structure:
CREATE TABLE `licenses` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`license_key` varchar(64) NOT NULL,
`product_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
`customer_name` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,
`customer_email` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,
`valid_until` datetime DEFAULT NULL,
`max_domains` int(11) DEFAULT 1,
`status` enum('active','expired','revoked') DEFAULT 'active',
`created_at` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
UNIQUE KEY `license_key` (`license_key`)
);
For the purpose of this installation guide, we will use a generic open-source model similar to "PHP-Software-License-Key-Generator" (a hypothetical but common architecture).
